how the hell am I supposed to keep working for the next 40 years

I'm so fucking tired. I recently graduated college and I'm making $13/hr in food service because that's quite literally the only job I can find. My half of the rent (for a one bed) is over $900, I'm barely making it. I work exactly 40 hours each week but sometimes I open, sometimes I close, sometimes I clopen. I don't get breaks even during a 9/10 hour shift because there's usually 1-3 people working and I'm the one in charge. Maybe a 15 that's closer to a 5, if I'm lucky.

I'm so fucking tired. I don't have time for anything, when I'm home I just want to lie down. even when the management wasn't awful I was still exhausted every second out of work. By the time I feel a little bit recovered I have to go back to work. surely there's more to life than this? is it even possible to make time for myself?
